Hello community.
I've been hired as consultant to generate an integration solution middleware for the following need. I'll try to be the most descripitive below:
My hiring customer has a fintech platform for financial intermediation. One side of their business are the banks and other financial institutions. In the other side, business owners which run SAP (and other ERP systems) in different environments and flavours. My job is to manage a project to produce and deliver in name of my customer, a module, connector, add-on or whatever name implies, for SAP, with the following characteristics:
As a new guy to SAP world, I've been researching and got to the point of determining that this can be done technically either with NetWeaver PI or the C# RFC Connector, and using some trial versions of ABAP Servers. However, I'm lost to the specifics. So, can you please help me out with this inquiries:
Thanks in advance, any other needed info I'm open to answer.
The best tool for integrating SAP data formats (like Invoices, Orders, etc.) with external third-party systems is in my opinion SAP Business Connector. Especially if you prefer an on-premises solution.
It already comes out-of-the-box for many tools for IDoc&RFC processing, XML processing, data mapping and internet communication protocols (HTTPS, Email, FTP, JDBC). Can be installed in 5min on a standard desktop/notebook, so you can easily experiment and try out some first prototypes. Take at look at the "SAP Adapter Guide" and the "Developer Tutorial" on the documentation page:
https://support.sap.com/en/product/connectors/bc/details.html?anchorId=section_295234589
There is also an Installation Guide, but on Windows, you pretty much just start the installer (as Administrator), and it does everything for you. Make sure to install the latest updates right after initial installation, to have the latest bugfixes and features, see notes
3448291 (CoreFix 3)
3346188 (Service Release 4)
(There are two separate patch lines, one for the general internet tools, and one for SAP-specific tools.)

You need an S-User with software download permission. (Your company or the client you are working for, should have such a user. Basically every SAP customer & partner gets such a user ID.) When you log on to the BC download page with that user for the first time, you will be taken to a short application form you need to fill in. (SAP BC contains cryptographic software, so we need to check the ECN export restrictions. 😞 ) Processing usually takes a work-day, and after that you will be able to access the download page.
So the decisive question is: can you get hold of such an "S-User" or have someone in your company, who can perform this step for you?
